HASP problems. If a particular hardlock or HASP problem cannot be solved using the procedures in this manual, please document the problem using this manual as a reference. Refer to this manual when calling the CINCINNATI INCORPORATED Technical Support at 513-367-7100 for assistance.
IDENTIFICATION The CINCINNATI software requires that a hardware lock be attached to the computer that is running the software or, in the case of the network (multi-user) lock, to a computer on a local network. There are six types of hardware locks supplied by CINCINNATI: single-user parallel port hardlocks, single-user USB hardlocks, network parallel port hardlocks, network USB hardlocks, single-user USB HASPs and network USB HASPs.
This device is green in color and plugs into a USB port of a networked computer and allows up to 10 client computers to connect to the lock and run the CINCINNATI software. It has a LED inside which should light up when the device is plugged in and the proper drivers are installed.
Single-User Locks and Network (Multi-User) Locks sections to avoid confusion. The Single-User Locks section covers the installation of either the parallel port or the USB version of the hardlock or HASP that will be installed directly on the computer onto which the CINCINNATI software is being installed.
Note: It is especially important that the hardware drivers be installed prior to connecting the lock if using the USB hardlock or HASP. Connect the USB lock to an enabled USB port on the PC onto which the software application was installed. If the lock is installed properly and Windows finds the correct driver, a LED inside of the lock should light.

Administrator login is required in order to install HL-Server under Windows NT/2000/XP. Start the HLSW32.EXE installation program. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard. The program will install the HL-Server application and the hardlock drivers. “Aladdin Diagnostic” can be used as a program to test the installation.
Make sure the arrowhead is oriented toward the computer. Note: It is especially important that the hardware drivers be installed prior to connecting the lock if using the USB hardlock or HASP. Connect the USB lock to an enabled USB port on the PC onto which the server software was installed. If the lock is installed properly and Windows finds the correct driver, a LED inside of the lock should light.
Note: This only applies to parallel port modules. If using a parallel port hardlock, the communication to the hardlock can be disrupted if the parallel port is set to ECP mode. In the BIOS, check which mode the parallel port is set too. Change the setting to “Standard”, “SSP”, or “Normal.”...
Check that the server PC is turned on. Check that there are available licenses. If the hardlock is a 10-User version, are there 10 users already running the software? If so, one must exit the CINCINNATI software before a new user can run the software.
Check that there are available licenses. The network HASP is a 10-User version, are there 10 users already running the software? If so, one must exit the CINCINNATI software before a new user can run the software. Can the client PC see the server PC on the network? Try browsing to a shared folder on the server from the client or trying pinging the server.
